The Fourth Night Of My Drinking

Lyrics

On the first night of my drinking
 I was looking for my keys
 I was half blind and stinking
 And bloody at the knees
 I had a built-in fever and bright red cheeks
 My checks and balances up shit creek
 It was all in fun, I didn't hurt no one
 'Til I crawled back for more
 Then there was damage done, but I made it home
 And woke up on the floor
 ♪
 On the second night of my drinking
 I was looking for my car
 And as luck would have it
 I found it parked outside my favorite bar
 I had a leather, liver, and lipstick streaks
 Had a disposition of valleys and peaks
 It was a lot of fun 'til I shot my gun
 And the neighbors called the law
 They didn't take me in, but they let it sink in
 I was headed for a fall
 ♪
 Headed for a fall
 ♪
 The third night of my drinking
 I was yelling at your house
 I had a stick in my hand and was convinced
 Some man was in there hiding out
 I had a foot on your door, you had me down on the floor
 I woke up next morning and my jaw was sore
 Then I was back at the bar, and I was wanting some more
 Then I was back at the bar, and I was wanting some more
 Then I was back at the bar, and I was wanting some more
 'Til they tried to cut me off
 ♪
 On the fourth night of my drinking
 I had to go it all alone
 As my friends list was shrinking
 And I was sinking like a stone
 I had a steely eye, had a mouth full of grit
 My disposition had gone full tilt
 There was a taste in my mouth, I wasn't liking it
 Guess, it will be through with me before I'm through with it
 Guess, it will be through with me before I'm through with it
 Guess, it will be through with me before I'm through with it
